    • Your point 4 deals with that and puts them to strict proof .....but realistically they are not in a position to state that within their particulars they were not the creditor at the time of default but naturally assume the OC would have...so always worth challenging and if you get a DJ who knows his onions on the day may ask for further evidence from the OC internal accounts system. 
    • I see, shame, I think if a claim is 'someone was served' then proof of that should be mandatory. Appreciate your input into the WS whenever you get chance, thanks in advance
    • Paper trail off the original creditor often confirms the default and issue of a notice...not having or being able to disclose the actual copy or being able to produce a copy less so. Creditors are not compelled to keep copies of the actual default notice so you will in most cases get a reconstituted version but must contain accurate figures/dates/format.     .    
    • Including Default Notice Andy? Ok, I think this is the best I can do.. it all makes sense with references to their WS. They have included exhibits that dates don't match the WS about them, small but still.. if you're going to reference letters giving dates, then the exhibits should be correct, no? I know I redacted them too much, but one of the dates differs to the WS by a few months. IN THE ******** County Court Claim No. [***] BETWEEN: LC Asset 2 S.A.R.L CLAIMANT AND [***] DEFENDANT ************ _________________________ ________ WITNESS STATEMENT OF [***] _________________________ ________ I, [***], being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim. 1. I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much-reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights. This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information). The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. 2. The Claim relates to an alleged Credit Card agreement between the Defendant and Bank of Scotland plc. Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that the Defendant has had contractual agreements with Bank of Scotland plc in the past, the Defendant is unaware as to what alleged debt the Claimant refers. 3. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. The Claimant is put to strict proof to verify and confirm that the exhibit *** is a true copy of the agreement and are the true Terms and Conditions as issued at the time of inception of the online application and execution of the agreement. 4. Point 3 is noted. The Claimant pleads that a default notice has been served upon the defendant as evidenced by Exhibit [***]. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 5. Point 6 is noted and disputed. The Defendant cannot recall ever having received the notice of assignment as evidenced in the exhibit marked ***. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. Point 12 is noted, the Defendant doesn’t recall receiving contact where documentation is provided as per the Claimants obligations under CCA. In addition, the Claimant pleads letters were sent on dates given, yet those are not the letters evidenced in their exhibits *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 24/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. Without the Claimant providing a valid true copy of the executed Credit agreement that complies with the CCA, the Claimant has no grounds on which to enforce this alleged debt. 11. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter such negotiations with the Claimant. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant by way of a Section 78 request. The Claimant failed to comply. I can only assume as this was due to the Claimant not having any enforceable documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment.   Statement of Truth I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in it’s truth. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Yes, there is a few on here Ive seen them. But as the saying goes, just keep it simple. Something like,

 

Dear X

 

Account No:

Name:

Sort Code.

 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

 

I am in receipt of your letter dated xxxxx offering me xxxxx in full and final settlement of my claim against you.

 

After much deliberation, I have decided to accept this offer on the proviso that the money is paid directly into my account by xxxxxxx or within 10 working days from the date of this letter, (and remember to date your letter).

 

I look forward to receipt of the funds, and confirm that my claim will be considered concluded only upon receipt of the funds into my bank as stated above. If for any reason, the funds do not appear in my account within this time scale, then I reserve the right to continue with my full claim, and will be contacting the courts to issue legal proceedings on xxxxxx should this condition not be met.

 

I thank you for your early response.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

something like that should do it. Just keep it simple but cover yourself.

 

 

 

xxxxxxxx

Without Prejudice means you cannot show this letter to a court should it get that far.

 

I would want all my letters to be shown as it would show the Judge that I have tried not to take the time of the courts, which is an overriding objective under CPR.

My friend, who is a solicitor with his own practice has told me to put anything to my bank which is in writing, as WITHOUT PREJUDICE whenever they are attaching any sort of condition to anything. Is he wrong then ? Hes been practising for 22 years. ???? I would appreciate an answer on this because thats what Ive been doing in my letters. I would hate to think hes told me wrong, and Ive fluffed up. Because Ive done it. xxx thanks.

So based on that then, what it is saying is if the court has no jurisdiction over such a claim it can be thrown out. But the whole point of submitting the claim in the first place, is because the court you are submitting it to will have jurisdiction. Im no legal eagle on this, but Im gonna check with my friend, because Im seriously beginning to worry now. I did everything as per his recommendations, and he touch wood, has always given sound advice. I dont quite understand the wikipedia wording. Doesnt make sense to me, all legal jargon. Im confident my claim is spot on, no mistakes, so why would the court have no jurisdiction over the amount of my claim. IM LOST. I COMPLETELY DONT UNDERSTAND. IM GONNA PM NATTIE OR MICHEAL BROWNE OR SOMEBODY BECAUSE THIS HAS THROWN ME NOW, and Im gonna phone my friend. Help. lol xxx

This is the part I was referring to:-

 

In many common law jurisdictions such as England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, the term "without prejudice" is also used in the course of negotiations to indicate that a particular conversation or letter is not to be tendered as evidence in court.

Phew, thanks for the info, but OMG you really got me going then. My friend says, He knows what youre saying, and yes it has been used in that context before, but mainly abroad, and very very rarely in this country. Phew. I feel better now. Was about to have cardiac and thought my claim had just gone down the swanee. H*ll please dont do that to me. My heart skipped a beat. I asked him if it has done any harm in what Ive put on my letters and he said CATEGORICALLY NO. Its fine. Its more of an old fashioned way of using it he said. Nobody really pays that much notice to it anymore and it means that if he wants to further claim in future, hes able to do so without it affecting this particular claim, i.e. he said, he can accept this money, and sign the form the natwest have sent him, but that if he still wants then claim in future, he can. God I wish I had a better legal brain. Im just going mainly on this site and my friend. But OMG you had me going there for a mo. LOL. Ah well, Im ok now. No harm done.

Whenever I have entered into correspondence and used the term "Without Prejudice" it is because I wish to indicate my willingness to resolve/settle such dispute outside of the courts.

 

I could be wrong here but I would think this would be looked upon favourably by the courts as it would indicate you have tried and given the opportunity to resolve the matter without court intervention!

 

Please, someone correct me if they think/know otherwise!

lmfao Fendy, I didn't mean to worry you. I was just querying the "Without Prejudice" part, which I still don't think is needed.

 

I'll get you a glass of wine, that will calm you down.

LOL, Im such a novice. I really panicked there for a mo. Anyway, Laura D whoever you are, thats basically exactly what my friend said. It is admissable as evidence in court, and they tend to look at it like youre trying to settle it. Im no expert, Im really not, hence why I rely on the good people on here to help, but I have been told by my solicitor friend, that WITHOUT PREJUDICE, would not prejudice anybodys case at all if it was on any letter throughout the process. He said it simply means that. Youre not being prejudiced against them, youre just trying to settle things. I rely on what he tells me because I wouldnt have a clue otherwise. So either way, Mr D Fuller, it doesnt matter. Personally I would put it, but Mum of Three boys wouldnt, but either way, legally I have been categorically told it wont affect anything, whether you do or you dont, other than it means if anything like this happens again going forward you can claim again, and you can produce the letter in court if it got that far and it is admissable as evidence in your case. Phew. Where would we be without the help of each other on here eh. !!!! wine in hand now Mum of three boys, but thanks for mentioning it. Its always better to check than not, and get it wrong. Ta Muchly Moo. Youre a star. !!! but please dont make my heart skip again..................xxx

Hi Fendy,

 

No probs - whilst I'm not a barrister/lawyer just yet, I do work in Company Law so see these kind of phrases quite a bit!

 

My job is prob also the reason I'm quite excited about all of this - can't wait to start reading Acts and quoting till I'm blue in the face!!!!

 

Good luck with your claim

P.s. I wrote without prejudice on my prelim letter ;o)

Thanks for the reassurance. It really helps. Ooooh company law. You smart thing. At least youre in the right frame of mind for the fight. Relishing it rather than being frightened. I always think fear kind of gets in the way a bit for something like this. You have to try and overcome it. But for some its very difficult. Im a bit like you. Im not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I am relishing the fight. I would love to stand up in court and be able to put my case forward fairly. But you can never guarantee what kind of judge your gonna get I suppose. Thats the danger. Anyway, thank you for the reassurance. It really does help and its very very very much appreciated. Good luck too, but with your job, and knowledge Im sure you wont need it. xxxxxx

from reading backwards. if you have given 10 days then you have 10 days but if you have accepted it i would expect it to be paid into the account in the order that it is received. You may be aware of an increase in mail to Customer Relations Unit,Borehamwood.
